AtWhiffof Joy challenge blog Karinaprepared an
interestingsketch for us (see below). I used Melinda BlowingKisses
image, isn’t she cute? Icoloredherwith pencilsandmineralspiritand
Copis,added someStickles(Star Dust) to her wings. Also I added someGlossyAccents
to the hearts so they shine a bit, but it doesn’t show on the picture unfortunately.
Papers are fromSweetDay (Eco Park) andTilda. I shaded around the image withBrokenChinaDistresspad. Added a Rayer pearl heart, some flowers
(Prima flowers) and this is the result ….

some time on the countryside.... Of course,someone has totake careof the houseandwateringthe gardenand field:)AndI must admit
thatpeace, quiet and fresh air does me quite good...
When I was younger I really didn’t care about this, but I guess this comes with
age :) Wealsodroveto the nearbylake this weekend, where werelaxed and had a swim. It was really
refreshing.

The
challenge over the Bunny Zoes is called “swirls and lace”. I used a cute image ofTildawith agift
andcoloredherwith Bicmarkers. I
addedthe inscription (happy birthday), some swirlsandflower
fromMarianneDesign to which Iglued somebeads
to the center of the flower.

It’s
candy time! I have decided that I will treat you with some candy since I am
having a really great time in bloglend recently. I'm reallygratefulfor all yournicecommentsandcompliments,
so this is my way to say a big thank you to you all.

WellI finallygotmyself together. For the past week I was
spending my vocation in BerlinandI tell you, only aweekis not enoughto exploreall thecharms thatthis
beautiful cityhas tooffer.
And of course when I got home I had to do a ton of laundry
and yesterday I took a "test" fora job(yesyou heard right atest!), what will
they think up next?! And, of course, this
was followed by all the familyandhouseholdstuff to take care off. I will treat you with some pictures from my holiday,
they will be published in one of this week’s posts I
hope (don’t miss it, because Ialso visited some of the craftshops there and
boy they are awesome). And most
of allImissedmycrafty desk, so as
soon as we got back I had to start creating.

The currentchallenge atSaturatedCanary is black-white+one. I choseblack-white -pinkcombinationandused Krista’s freebie namedJules. Isn’t she gorgeous? Icoloredherwith pencilsandmineralspirit.
I don’t knowwhy, but thistechniqueis
stillmyfavorite.Ihaveused theedge punch to create a lace, addeda bow to which I attached a pearl heart, addeda sentiment “happy birthday”, which Icovered withglossyaccentsandof courseIcouldn’t resist to add some Stickles
to her gorgeous big bow …. andthis
is what it came out ...

This
times challenge at ShugarNellieis a sketch (see below). I have chosenone oftheircharmingGorjussgirls.
Icoloredherwith pencilsandmineralspirit. I addedsomeStickles(Star Dust)
to the flowers inherhair, added some ribbon and a bow, an inscription (which says happy birthday)which
IdecoratewithLiquidPearlsand
finallyadheredpinkgoldflowers fromPrimaFlowers.

We have
such humid weather today that I have a headache! I think thunderstormswith hail
are predicted...I hopeit won’t be too serious. However, I am going
to have a listen to the 80s legends Duran Duran today. They are playing in
Križanke (a beautiful open-air theater) so you can sit outside and listen to
the whole concert. Well I am not a huge fan, butif they cametovisitusit isworth to goand saturate your curiosity,
especially if you’re a music enthusiast like I am J. Tomorrow I am off to Berlin. I
will borrow thelaptopfrom my brotherso I'llbe able to follow your beautiful
creations (hopefully) on a regular basis.

I am
totally obsessed by the beautiful girlsfromSaturatedCanary!!!This timeI
chose acuteAvawithballoons. IcoloredherwithBICmarkersand
added some flowers. The papersare from the MotivCartonNature, EcoParkSweet DreamsandTilda, all are shadedwithVintagePhotoDistresspad. I
bought the creamy flowersinPrometej
shopandalsoshaded them with the sameDistresspad, and at the endIadda bit ofStickles(Crystal) to give them some shine. Theflowerinthe leftcorneris from PapermaniaFlowersandIsprayed it withPerfectPearlsMists(Sunflower
Sparkle) and added a pin fromEpoxy(pastel) set.

I was admiring
for a while the beautiful girl’s form Krista(Saturated Canary) ...Andfinally,
I gathered the courage to try andcolor one myself. Certainly I can’t
compare myself to someartists out therethatreallyknow how to
color these girls (the hair is the trickiest part!)…
butthis is my firstattempt and I must admit that it was a lot of fun. BecauseSaturatedCanary
also has achallenge blog I decided
toenter my card justfor fun.
I colored this little sweetie with pencils
andmineralspirit andadda lot ofStickles(Star Dust). The flowerisfromMariannedesign 1201 die,I haveshaded it withthedistresspadWornLipstick
and did the same with the butterflies.

Finally
thetemperaturedroppedto 23 degrees. I
hope that it rises a little bit in the next week, because I am heading off to Berlin
on Sunday. I heard theyhavesome beautifullakes up there and I am really crazy about lakes, so I hope we’ll be able to have a
swim to cool us down. Oh I am really looking forward to
it.

The
challenge over theCraftalicais"over
the rainbow". The challengeis not aseasy as I thought it would be,
because it is quite hard to find the right color combination. StampTvhada verynicevideo of the sunshine background,
so I decidedtouse
it for my rainbow background. I colored the flower stamp with BIC markers,
added some ribbon and a sentiment which says happy birthday. Really simple.

So I have a really great news! There is a new online craft store opening in Slovenia called Mavelu. You can finde more information onMarina's blogg. I think she is a really brave ladie to take on this kinde of project. Visithttp://www.mavelu.comand read more about it (it's in slovene!). It opens 9.7.2012

Vladka and Tina came up with a great challenge that is
called “I’m inspired by ...". This time the inspiration is Chunyuans card
with butterflies. Since I really like butterflies on cards I immediately went
to work. My card is very simple. I chose a wonderful sentiment, I stamped
Artemios butterfly stamp with orange and yellow pad and cut them out manually, add some beads, and
this is what come out ...

As I expected the foto pass wasn’t waiting for me when I
arrived at the concert yesterday. I only got the press accreditation. I know I
am repeating myself but: that’s Slovenia for you. Well anyhow, I got
through some nasty arguing with the organizers but finally I really enjoyed the
concert and that’s what’s really important in the end isn’t it. Oh I just love
Ian Astburys voice and the music is just divine. Well … I can share a little
secret with you while we are at it … my blog got the name from the title of The
Cults song ;) It’s one of my favorite songs ever! I hope you already found your
sanctuary. ;)

Thank god that it cooled down a little as we had some
rain today. Finally! Hopefully I’ll sleep a little better today, without a
ventilator
:)

Hvala za obisk in vse prelepe komentarje. Zelo rada jih prebiram.

Thank you for visiting my blog and for all the lovely
comments. I really enjoy reading them.

Isn’t
this little princess cute. She is joyfullycelebrating...This
timeIcombined twochallenges:JustMagnolia’s
challenge "banner" andTilda’s Town challenge "Celebrate!"
I colored this lovely TildawithBicmarkersandadded some Sticklesto her little crown. For decoration I used
some washitape,a bowandbutterfliesfromRayerja. At the and I added some beadsandta-daaa ...

I
hope that you are somewhere inthecoolshade. I am going quite insane from all
this heat already...I can feel how my brains are going soft :)But never mind I am happy that I’m going to the Cult concert today. And
yes you’ve guest it I got the foto pass again … well it is not quite certain if
they’ll let us shoot the concert yet …yes, that's Slovenia
for you. Abroad
thephotographersare treated as"gods", but here, you are
worth nothing (there’s a really good expression that Serbs have for worthlessness,
but it just can’t be translated to English, sorry). Well,
I am alreadyaccustomed to this sort of behavior, but it’s really hard
sometimes to understand this.

The SugarBowl is having a sketch challenge and the team "Flower Power". I have
chosen a Gorjuss image called Girl Sitting. I coloured her
with pencils and mineral spirit and added a bunch of flowers. Yes I am still obsessed
with red colour, I don't know why :))))

Well
nothing much is happening at the moment. I am still waiting for my mentor to
approve my diploma, so I can pass it on to be reviewed by another professor. And
then another couple of weeks waiting for her comments, and then to make corrections, and
then she has to look at the work again … oh my god I don’t know how much longer
I will be able to put up with this. All this waiting and uncertainty if
the thing is going to get through till September is driving me insane, and
having no job makes things even worse. But you know what, that's just the way
it is …
